Sunset Floating Oval Beads (7x15mm)

Heavy-Duty Buoyancy for the Serious Shore Angler

When youre fishing big baits in big seas, you need an attractor that can handle the heavy lifting. The Sunset Floating Oval Beads (7x15mm) are designed for maximum displacement, providing the superior buoyancy required to keep larger hook baits suspended and moving naturally in the tide.

The elongated football shape of these ovals makes them more aerodynamic during a long-range cast compared to round beads of similar volume, ensuring your rig hits the distance without sacrificing presentation. These beads are fully reusable, making them a cost-effective and essential addition to any rig-builders kit.

Key Specifications

Where & How to Use Them

• Big Bait Buoyancy: These 15mm ovals are the perfect choice for lifting heavyweight baits like whole squid, sandeel wraps, or large cocktails of lugworm and peeler crab. They provide enough lift to keep these substantial meals fluttering off the bottom.

• Rough Ground Presentation: When fishing over broken ground or kelp, a single or double oval bead ensures your hook stays above the snags and muck on the seabed, keeping your bait in the clean water where fish can actually see it.

• Beating the Crab Tax: On beaches where crabs are a nightmare, these large floats are your best defense. The extra lift keeps your bait well out of reach of scavenging claws, ensuring your hook remains baited for the duration of the cast.

• Winter Shore Fishing: When targeting Cod in heavy winter swells, the extra surface area of these ovals catches the movement of the water, giving your bait an erratic, injured action that triggers aggressive strikes from predators.

Gerrys Pro Tip:

Because of their 15mm length, these are fantastic for creating visual snoods. I like to use one of these as a base and then add a few smaller 5mm round beads on top. It creates a tapered, bait-fish-like profile that really stands out when the water is a bit cloudy or youre fishing in high-energy surf.
